on the italian holiday island of ischia. italy's interior minister has described the situation as very serious,mud and debris swept through the region after a night of torrential rain. 0ur rome correspondent, mark lowen, sent this report. through the night came the rain, torrential and fast. and then the mud, a landslide pouring through ischia before dawn, burying and upturning what lay in its path — cars, trees, debris flung aside and uprooted. the rescue boats set off early, but were hampered by strong winds and rough seas, buffeting attempts to reach the island from naples. as they came ashore, the impact was clear. morning light revealed the torrents of mud and what they'd buried. man speaks italian. this mountain has fallen on the homes that are no longer there, he says. buildings and cars have been battered and covered. there are reports of deaths and people missing, with the fear

that numbers could rise. houses have been cut off, some without power, the authorities calling on residents to stay inside. ischia's narrow streets are caked in mud, many of its homes, illegally built over the years, unstable and vulnerable. now an anxious wait for the weather to lift to see the extent of the damage wreaked, turning ischia from island idyll into rivers of mud. mark lowen, bbc news, southern italy. a damning report on the culture of london fire brigade has found that it's "institutionally misogynist and racist". the independent review was carried out after a black trainee firefighter took his own life. the author of the report says he has "no doubt" similar problems exist in other fire brigades across the country. london fire brigade is promising immediate changes to its disciplinary processes. louisa pilbeam reports.

as wildfires broke out in london this summer, firefighters were praised for protecting the public. but they haven't protected their own, according to a report into london fire brigade, which found it is institutionally racist, misogynistic and has a bullying culture. i sat with a very senior female officer who said to me in tears that whenever she goes into a dangerous incident, she's almost thinking, "will the men around me protect me, given how much they have treated me as dirt back at the station?" that was not one person, that was many, many people. the report found example after example of abuse at all levels. incidents included a black firefighter having a noose above his locker, a muslim firefighter bullied over his faith with bacon put in his sandwiches, female colleagues being groped and crew members finding their helmets filled with urine.

the brigade�*s commissioner andy roe said he was deeply sorry for the harm that had been caused. to hear those stories, which so grossly undermine all that we stand for, is genuinely housebreaking. i know that so many of my people will be appalled by what they have heard and therefore, we must face it head—on with the same courage to resolve these issues. i don't think i can read this report and see a future where some people aren't held accountable for their actions and dismissed as a result, the examples are too horrifying. london fire brigade is the uk's busiest fire and rescue service, employing more than 5,000 people. their union responded with a statement. the london mayor has also demanded change.

this report has to be a watershed moment where we get rid of the institutional racism, homophobia and discrimination that exists in our fire service. the damning report comes as london fire brigade faces criticism for its handling of the grenfell tower fire, but the brigade have confirmed immediate changes to training and disciplinary procedures. louisa pilbeam, bbc news. let's look at some of the day's other news from around the world. taiwan's president has resigned as leader of the governing party, saying she takes full responsibility for her party's poor showing in the local elections. tsai ing—wen�*s attempt to frame the elections on her government's defiance of china's increased military threats failed to sway voters. the democratic republic of congo has announced that it will hold its next presidential election in december next year. the announcement comes as rebel groups continue to cause instability in the east of the country, displacing tens of thousands of people from their homes.

the vatican has accused china of breaking a landmark agreement signed four years ago over the administration of chinese catholics. the vatican expressed �*surprise and regret�* after beijing appointed a bishop without its approval. although details of the agreement was never made public. many catholics have criticised the agreement with communist china. nasa's 0rion spacecraft has broken the record for the furthest distance travelled from earth by a vehicle that is habitable by humans. this test flight, which does not have any crew onboard, is currently over four— hundred— thousand— five hundred kilometres from earth. that's more than three hundred kilometres beyond the previous record, held by the apollo 13 spacecraft. the spacecraft will take astronauts to the moon in the coming years. ukraine's president volydmyr zelensky says six million ukrainian households are still without power, after russia launched a wave of missile strikes across the country this week.

the number of affected households has reduced by half since wednesday. but many have been left without light, water or heat as winter sets in. the bbc�*s ukrainian service correspodnent in kyiv, zhana bezpiatchuk, says the authorities have been urgently working to try to restore water and electricity supplies. we know that so far, 75% of the ukrainian demand for electricity has been already met by the supply which has been restored in many regions and cities of ukraine. today we got to know that the city of kherson is on the grid again and that's very important news. people were cut off from early electricity supply, heating and water for weeks after the liberation while the retreating of the russian forces that have destroyed all three main electricity supply lines around kherson.

for example, i know such stories from the city of kherson where doctors and nurses and maternity units had to boil water and pour it in bottles and bring these hot bottles to their patients, mothers and newborns to warm them up. now the hospitals in kherson and in the region of kherson will be the first recipients who will get this electricity back these days and then there are potential blocks of residential houses and private houses in kherson who might get the electricy supply that is absolutely essential. as for kyiv, yesterday at night, finally, many residential areas in the eastern bank of the ukrainian capital got access to electricity after about 30 hours without heat or electricity and water supply.

so it's very important to understand that people could not call their relatives, families and friends when the electricity is off so it's very difficult psychologically when you cannot call your family to us them what is happening to them and where they are. the same was also with regards to isolation from news because wifi and mobile internet was not running and people didn't know what was happening in the city. the former pakistan prime minister imran khan has addressed hundreds of thousands of supporters in rawalpindi, telling them his one regret from his time in office was failing to bring the corrupt and the powerful to justice. the rally brings to a close the so called �*long march�* — by imran khan�*s pti party — aimed at pressing the government to call a snap election. samira hussein reports. they came by the hundreds and hundreds quickly became thousands. all converging on it three km strip

it�*s been under stringent coronavirus measures for three months as beijing continues to grapple with a steep rise in covid infections, despite its so—called �*zero covid policy�*. 0ur correspondent katie silver is following this story from singapore. the fire broke out on the 15th floor of this apartment building on thursday night. we understand it took authorities about three hours to put it out and according to state media, ten people died from it and nine were injured. this deadly blaze has then attracted attention on social media, making many complain and question this ongoing commitment to zero covid. some residents telling the bbc that they question whether or not these people were able to leave the building, and many for example relying on chats from the government to give themselves security that they were able to leave. now we have seen videos emerge on tiktok as well as weibo, which is china�*s equivalent of twitter, showing people coming up against officials in hazmat suits, screaming out, lift the lockdown, as well as hitting drums.

all of this comes about as the fact that china was the first into this pandemic and it seems like it is going to be the last out. it has now been almost three years that people have faced lockdown pressures, quarantines, as well as having to deal with snap lockdowns. so what we have seen, for instance on that front, particularly when it has come to the world cup, people have seen that is triggering, they have seen videos of people online out and about in crowds with no masks on. on friday we saw the third day in a row of consecutive daily cases hitting about 35,000 and that is small in a population of 1.4 billion, but the restrictions are immense. twitter continues to generate headlines under the leadership of elon musk, who bought the firm for $4abn at the end of october. the tumult has brought into sharper focus some of the platform�*s failings, but for some of its roughly 300 million monthly users, it has also been a place where they have built businesses, found love, and launched campaigns.

our technology editor, zoe kleinman, has spoken to three women who say being on twitter changed their lives for the better: twitter has long been a complicated place to hang out. you hear a lot about its struggles with moderation, with abuse and illegal content. for some of its millions of monthly users, it has been a platform that has brought business opportunities, grown communities, and sparked romance. i spoke to three women who say it changed their lives for the better. catherine cooke used twitter as a sounding board while she was going through divorce, and found an unexpected happy ending. i didn�*t start out looking for romance, but what i did use twitter for was, support, really. it is quite an isolating thing, going through a divorce. i like music, and i got chatting to people about music. one of those people was the person that eventually ended up being my partner. twitter has changed my life. i can�*t believe i am actually saying

that, but it is true. i have gone from being on my own and going through a divorce, which isn�*t a happy process for anybody, to feeling like i have met the love of my life. gail myerscough is a big fan of twitter. she was made redundant dueing covid and turned her illustration side hustle into her mainjob. it's been amazing. i now have 18.4 thousand followers, so i have got a real audience for it. people have been really supportive, people have been with me on myjourney. tim burgess, from the charlatans, contacted me one day and said, i really like your work. then he asked me to design a turntable for him. how do you feel about what is happening to twitter? i am worried. a lot of my business and support comes from twitter. if twitter went, i would have to build my business elsewhere.

i don't know where that elsewhere would be. suw charman—anderson�*s idea of a celebration of women working in science and tech, turned into a global event known as ada lovelace day. she says that wouldn�*t have happened without twitter. the idea of having a day celebrating women in science, technology, - engineering and maths, - ididn't have any resources, or any way to reach people. twitter was the obvious solution. i don't think ada lovelace day would have become the movement it did . become, without the help of twitter. whatever happens to twitter next, under new ownder, elon musk, there will be lots of people hoping that these sorts of opportunities continue to flourish. (now if you�*re over a certain age, you�*ll surely remember

this:the voice of american actress and singer irene cara who has died at the age of sixty three. this:the voice of american actress and singer irene cara who has died at the age of sixty three. the musical fame —— in which she sang that title track —— made her, indeed famous. four years later, irene cara won an oscar and a grammy for the title song in the movie "flashdance". seth abramovitch from the hollywood reporter has more on the significance of her role in �*fame�*. it was a huge impact. it predated pop idol and x factor. it gave kids a sense of, oh, this could happen to me. i have talent if ijust work hard and do it i could have all my dreams come true. it really did touch something in a generation stop it was a seminal film. she auditioned for the role of cocoa.

and that was conceived as a dancing role. when they heard her sing they realised we need to rewrite this. in the film she is in a triple stream. she is dancing, acting, and singing. she sings the theme song. she just has this exuberance. there is a little bit ofjennifer lopez to her. because she�*s a latino from new york. she can move and she can sell a song. there was something. her emotional connection to a song was without equal. she really shined in that film. i should say that. for fame, she made history because she was nominated for two songs from that soundtrack, the title song fame and out here on my own. and she performed both at the academy awards. what a platform to launch her career. and the first, i believe, afro—latina actress or performer to be nominated for an oscar outside of the acting category. so she did make history

and she won for fame. so that already made her quite a, you know, a force. and when flashdance came around, that was interesting. giorgio moroder, the very legendary disco producer worked with donna summer, was hired to write the theme song for that, and they paired him with her, paramount, she was under contract to paramount, and they came up with this song. and the legend goes in a limousine ride in new york city. and, well, that one exceeded even fame. i mean, what a classic song. what a feeling. this might be the weekend that you�*re thinking about your christmas tree, and there�*s a business in leeds offering trees with a difference. they�*re making and selling hundreds of christmas trees made out of old fence posts. jacob tomlinson reports. it might not look like the north pole, but inside this west yorkshire warehouse, rhys and his team are busy making christmas magic. all: we're back!

last year, selling these christmas trees made from fence posts raised more than £10,000. ten trollies. i bet we�*re about halfway there, if that. that money bought hundreds of toys, which charities gave to families across west yorkshire. hundreds of kids are going to have a christmas that they probably never had. the phrase for this is, "it�*s nice to be nice, innit?" last year, rhys and his team made almost 850 trees. this year, they�*ve made over 1,000 already, with a plan to make around 5,000 trees. and the reason why? in fact, rhys, what�*s the reason why? all: it�*s nice to be nice, innit?" it�*s nice to be nice. it's always a good feeling when you're doing something, when you're helping people. i never had a great deal of everything when i was a kid, you know? plus, everything's tough now, isn't it? we've got nearly everything you'd ever want in life, you know? but some people got nothing, absolutely nothing. so it's nice to give a bit back, isn't it? let�*s just get it out there.

share it. share it as much as you can. and let�*s hit 50 k at least. 50 grand�*s five times more than what we did last year, so it�*s go big or go home. rhys and his team only have a few weeks to sell all their trees. that will leave enough time to buy the toys and, of course, get them to father christmas on time. jacob tomlinson, bbc news. two and a half thousand naked volunteers have posed in the early morning light on sydney�*s bondi beach for an artwork designed to raise awareness of skin cancer. it�*s the photographer, spencer tunick�*s, latest project — aimed at encouraging australians to get regular skin checks. the volunteers, of all body shapes and skin tones, represented the number of people who die of the disease the artwork required legislation to be changed to allow public nudity for the first time on the beach. don�*t forget you can get

in touch with me and some of the team on twitter — i�*m @samanthatvnews hello, it�*s not been a pleasant day today. grey skies and outbreaks of rain. a bit better tomorrow but for the rest of this evening and overnight we can expect more rain. having said that. later in the night the weather should start to improve across northern and western areas of the uk. this is the weather front that crossing the country right now. that is the centre of low pressure that weather front will sweep over us through the course of this evening and the first part of the night. and then the early hours of sunday morning we will see the weather improving across the western and northwestern part of the uk. this is what it looks like over the next few hours. the rain will not clear east anglia and the southeast.

that�*s where it was stalled early on sunday morning. elsewhere, where it is dry on sunday morning it will be a little colder. 6 degrees celsius and more like 11 in the london area. this weather front will drag its heels. it�*s what we call a waving front, it wobbles a little and does not want to clear away towards the east. so that doesn�*t mean that in east anglia and the southeast. in fact, probably from central to southern england and possibly even into lincolnshire a bit of uncertainty here. it could be raining through most of the day and certainly in kent you are in for a wet day. elsewhere across the country it would be a bright day with scattered clouds and occasional showers in the west. it ruled will remain blustery. not particularly cold though. tomorrow evening you can see that rain still in kent and sussex. just about clearing the coast of east anglia out in the west we will have more showers. monday and tuesday we will see high—pressure building in from the south west. this ridge of high—pressure means that things dry out.

the weather front, or remnants of it, still out in the north sea. but this ridge builds in and that will keep things settled at least for most of us on monday, certainly by tuesday. most of us are in that drier, clear weather. i say clearer, there will be sunshine around on monday. and indeed on tuesday. in places it would be quite foggy, and murky in the morning. where the fog persist it could end up being pretty cold. i think, on balance it is around eight to 10 degrees as far as the week ahead is concerned. goodbye.
